The Rants & Rambles of A Grumpy Old Dude

HASH

About a year ago, I published a post titled Leftovers, where I showed and described some of the odd knives I had accumulated over the years. To get rid of leftovers, you chop them up fine, and turn them into hash. This is a hash of some of the other edged and pointed tools and toys infesting our home.

The son’s excess work knives. Numbers 1 and 2 were found in ’empty’ parts cases, returned from customers. 3, 4 and 5, he purchased, #3, at a Detroit knife show, #4 in Toronto, and #5 from Amazon….’cause he doesn’t have enough knives.

My EDC, (every day carry) $100 Gerber in nylon/Velcro belt sheath.

The son’s assault knife, called the “Feral Siamese”. More of a short sword c/w skull-breaker pommel & formed Kydex sheath. Needs a big, strong hand/arm.

The son’s $2000 Katana, which he won for $20. Shown with Kydex scabbard and the winning ticket.

The son’s ‘utility’ Katana, called the “2014 TiKat”. A little less fancy, built by the same maker who produced the blade for the one above. This one is made of titanium rather than stainless steel – half the weight, with twice the strength and edge-holding, with a snug wooden scabbard. I really need to get someone else to take these photos.

A decorative skinner/caper with a cast pewter wolf’s-head counterbalance and wolf scene on the handle.

My dragon kriss, gift from the daughter.

A replica German officer’s dagger with cast/moulded metal scabbard.

One of the son’s titanium belt buckles, this one with a single skull motif.

Another titanium belt buckle, this one with a dragon surmounting the Earth.

That rapier is a thing of beauty, Archon. I especially liked the fact that you had a cholesterol laden, oh pardon me, a very veggie filled excursion at the Asian buffet. 🙂 Thanks for pointing me to the article. I would hate to be a burglar in your house.
